1983 TOWARDS TOMORROW

Behind the cut: a picture I was paid to do of a naked lady wielding an electric guitar like a club

I am a pen for hire, 'why' is not in my vocabulary

The commissioner of this piece actually paid me extra bucks after the drawing was finished to remove the shell (not the tortoise's). I'm thinking this is a pretty good business model- what if I drew someone a robot, and then told them it was £50 to 'level up' any one attribute? Or I drew someone a portrait of their grandma, and told them it woud be an extra £50 to put her false teeth in, and an extra $1000 to remove all the dildos? It bears thinking about.

Tomorrow is the HAND-IN DAY for the competition, as you know - I am going off to work in the studio now, but I will create the HAND-IN DAY post for HAND-IN DAY when I get back

Of course you run the risk that Granny will like the dildos. "Certain tasks," she would say, "do get easier without all those teeth in the way."

Here's an extreme close-up which I guess could be used as a desktop wallpaper. I call this version 'The best bits'.

I was tempted to shell out for the opposite, put a bikini top on her or something. I'm feeling vaguely mom-guilty about posting this on my blog.

Also, you should totally post my awesome rough sketch I sent you.
